"That all comes down to where our budget is, and I think that the bottom line is our...

This week, it is likely that the football world will be provided with an answer to the question that has dominated the conversation in Denver for the past month: Will Peyton Manning play for the Broncos in 2015?

In a league where the rules are heavily tilted in the favor of the offense, there aren’t a lot of ways for the defense to fight back. All too often, their role in a game is to slow down the bleeding, not stop it. Dominating on that side of the ball has become more and more rare.
But that doesn’t mean it can’t happen. In fact, we’ve seen a few examples in recent years where...

Word is that Peyton Manning wants to play again next season and that the Denver Broncos want him back. of course they do! He is Peyton freaking Manning! So what if he looked mortal towards the end of the season! He was not healthy. He is still one of the best to play the game and you do not turn him away if you can help.The Broncos may not be able to help it though. They need salary...

The NFL is a cut-throat business and behind the curtain of the game is the dollars and cents mentality that suggests that anyone is replaceable. With that said the Broncos face some immense challenges concerning their roster in 2015 and obviously everyone cannot return to the orange and blue for another Super Bowl run.

The Denver Broncos, by most team’s measurements, had a very successful 2014 season, finishing with a record of 12-4. However, with Peyton Manning as your quarterback, and after advancing to the Super Bowl the previous season, a loss in your first playoff game is an objective failure, and one that may have ended the Manning era in Denver. The Broncos’ offseason plans hinge on...

Thomas also stated he is not interested in taking home town discounts, which is something the Broncos need since they are already fighting against a tight salary cap. Thomas is among twelve other players who are set to be unrestricted free agents this offseason. The...

The Denver Broncos have been one of the most consistent contenders in the National Football League over the past four seasons. Denver is one of only two teams to win its division in all of those campaigns, sharing that distinction with the New England Patriots.
